There were so many massive natural disasters in Indonesia for the last decade such as the Indian Ocean Tsunami in 2004, a large-scale earthquake in Yogyakarta and Central Java Provinces in 2006, and another big earthquake in West Sumatra Province in 2009. In order to cope with these disasters, the Government of Indonesia has been improving not only the physical countermeasures against the disasters, but also the institutional mechanism such as the revision of disaster management law and organization concerned. The governmental transition of disaster management mechanisms in Indonesia among the central and local governments shall be studied in this paper.
